Recruiting Volunteers

We work closely with the Community Curation Working Group to recruit volunteers to participate in ClinGen Curation activities.

Curation Training

We have representatives from the Gene, Variant, Dosage, Actionability, and Somatic curation efforts. These representatives are responsible for developing, scheduling and hosting training sessions.

Outreach

We lead efforts to represent ClinGen at meetings through our exhibit booth and events. We also send out a quarterly ClinGen newsletter.

Continuing Education

We are developing continuing education opportunities for ClinGen curators.
